Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 490 Xu Zhaohua After Being Promoted (Chapter 9)
It was Lu Jiude, Bingbi, the supervisor of rites, who spoke.

Now Zhu Youjian asked him to be in charge of the information coordination of the entire Northern Expedition, while the approval of domestic government affairs was handed over to Xu Zhaohua, who followed him.

Xu Zhaohua has now been promoted to the eunuch of the Lijian, but his powers have been shared with the Lijian.

This is something that can't be helped, the senior officials of Ming Dynasty all have their own major affairs to be responsible for.

Wang Chengen is in charge of the East Factory, Han Shoujing is in charge of Huangzhuang and Royal Capital, Lu Jiude is in charge of the military, He Xin is in charge of the defense of the capital, and Xu Zhaohua can only take over the daily government affairs.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Jiude's general situation of the various armies in the Northern Expedition, Zhu Youjian asked Xu Zhaohua:
"What major event happened inside the court?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no major incident, only Pu Yixiu's impeachment of King Ding for colluding with the military officials. The cabinet vote was supposed to be false, and he was fined half a year's salary, and the minister's approval was approved."

When Xu Zhaohua said this, Zhu Youjian nodded: "Gao Hongtu is quite mature and prudent."

He also agrees with Xu Zhaohua's handling method.

Now that the Northern Expedition is going on, impeaching King Ding Zhu Cijiong for collusion with military officials is tantamount to preventing King Ding Zhu Cijiong from rising by accumulating military merits in the Northern Expedition. Zhu Youjian can guess that this is King Hui or Yongwang's party giving eye drops to King Zhu Cijiong.

The prince's infighting was instigated by Zhu Youjian himself.

For such a phenomenon, he has long been psychologically prepared, and he also feels that it is a phenomenon that a dynasty should not lack.

However, Zhu Youjian knew that he, the emperor, and the important ministers at the center had to weigh the pros and cons so as not to fall into the abyss of party disputes, so he thought it was right for Gao Hongtu to dispose of the imperial censor who impeached King Ding, even if Gao Hongtu The proposed decision may be a blow to his own party.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian said that he is quite mature and prudent, and he is also very sure of Xu Zhaohua's approval of popularity. Now this little girl has been in the inner school of the Silijian for so long, and she has been taught by Wang Chengen personally. In her boudoir, she was taught by her father Xu Xianqing, which made her handle her government affairs handy now, which made Zhu Youjian very useful.

However, Zhu Youjian didn't know if power would make the taciturn girl in front of him more silent and restrained, or even turn into another person.

But Zhu Youjian can't control so much. Xu Zhaohua's entry into the Rites Supervisor is voluntary, and Zhu Youjian really needs an assistant who is meticulous and highly sensitive to daily government affairs.

Perhaps Xu Zhaohua's end point may not be the eunuch with the supervisor of ceremonies, so in order to encourage Xu Zhaohua, Zhu Youjian suddenly said:
"Do a good job as the supervisor of ceremonies, maybe one day you will be in charge of Daming, the yamen with the most powerful internal power."

"Yes!"

Xu Zhaohua responded, and there were some ripples in her calm heart. Seeing Zhu Youjian waving, she left here consciously, and saw Qi Dexuan as soon as she came out.

She and Qi Dechun can be regarded as childhood acquaintances, but now Qi Dechun is the favorite concubine of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, and she is already a senior internal official.

Xu Zhaohua bowed slightly and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Qi!"

And Qi Dexuan walked forward involuntarily, with eager eyes: "Sister Xu", but then nodded silently, and walked gracefully into Zhu Youjian's sleeping place.

And Xu Zhaohua couldn't help looking back, she couldn't help thinking how terrible it would be if she served in front of a man like her, making tea and beating his legs.

"Master, are you tired? Just now Li Neiguan from the imperial dining room sent some fresh oranges, each juicy and juicy."

At this time, a low-level handyman who was promoted by Xu Zhaohua to be the head of the chief inspector ran over immediately when Xu Zhaohua came back. One day, his feet were already smelly, so he ordered someone to fetch hot water to wash Xu Zhaohua's feet and massage himself, and kept reporting today's news.

The other two internal officials on duty, one massaged her shoulders, and the other brewed her favorite drink, Taiping Houkui.

"It's hard for her to think about me. I'm afraid she only thinks about me because she wants to be promoted to the position of director."

Xu Zhaohua was already used to the feeling of being flattered by the subordinates, and there was nothing wrong with it. He even picked up the memorabilia and looked at it naturally, sometimes frowning, and sometimes relaxing his brows.

But at this moment, an internal official came in: "Report to Suitang, the letter from Vice General Xia has arrived."

"Give it back to him. Now our family has been promoted to the supervisor of ceremonies. He is now the deputy general of the Guards, one level higher than the commander. The next step is the deputy commander. One is an internal minister and the other is a foreigner. Officer, there are some things to avoid suspicion, so let him stop sending things here, even though His Majesty knows about us, it would be bad if he is impeached by the officials of the Sixth Division Gallery."

Xu Zhaohua said this lightly, she is now habitually lost in politics and has to consider her current situation. His Majesty Zhu Youjian's sentence that she might be in charge of the chief of ceremonies made her feel uneasy for a long time, and she began to feel that she It would be better to be more cautious.

She knew that entering the Suitang of the Supervisor of Rituals meant that she would offend Wang Chengen, Lu Jiude, Han Shoujing and more disciples and grandchildren of the great eunuchs.

If she still contacts Xia Wanchun privately at this time, it is likely that her competitors will make a big fuss, so without thinking about it, she asks her own people to tell Xia Wanchun not to contact her again, and she wants to make herself as much as possible. High-ranking officials in the DPRK without any collusion.

"Jin Yiwei Wu Dudu asked to see him."

At that time, there was news from another internal official. Xu Zhaohua heard that it was Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, and hurried to invite him. As soon as Wu Mengming came in, he was as polite as other officials when they saw Xu Zhaohua:
"It's noon now, and I have something to report to His Majesty, but I'm afraid of disturbing His Majesty's sleep, so I came here to find out."

"Qi Guiren just passed by."

Jinyiwei involved military secrets and was directly responsible by the Generalissimo's Office. Xu Zhaohua was naturally inconvenient to ask more questions, so he just replied casually, and the commander of Jinyiwei made Wu Mengming know that this casual sentence was worth thousands of silver dollars every year:
"Shangguan Xu has recently been promoted to the supervisor of ceremonies, and the lower official has no time to congratulate him because he is away on business.

"Wu Dudu is polite", Xu Zhaohua did not refuse, this is an official rule, she will have such benefits when she sits in this position, even the Emperor Zhu Youjian acquiesces, and she has no way to stop it.

But because of this, she did not expect that after staying in the Lijian for less than a year, she had already bought her own three-entry mansion on the east side of Chang'an Gate, and she also had her own villa garden in Qixia Mountain. .

Not long after Wu Mengming left, Xu Zhaohua picked out some important memorials, but she also thought that it was noon now, so she didn't need to bother His Majesty in a hurry, so she just waited in the garden outside, watching the winter moon fall. Xiaoxue and the withered lotus in the pond, Zhou Yuji, Li Mingrui and other important officials walked past her and saluted her respectfully. This kind of feeling that she didn't have to work hard, and someone would please her and respect herself made her feel Very cool.
